"Get up first Day of school, this your last year baby come On " She leaves my room.
"School? "I grumble in a nonchalant tone.
"I Hate school but she right Tho this is my last year. " I begin to get dressed, filling up my bookbag and wiping off my new Jordan 11's.
I'm the only child so it's just me and my mama. Well, ever since my daddy died 6 years ago mama's been putting up this front always covering up the truth about how she feels . I feel bad for her I know she misses him …I do too.

"Give me a hug " she hugs me tight. Mama always hugs me before she or I leave the house. She says it's always good to hug someone because u never know if it's your last time.
She looks at me with those eyes that have looked this same way for six years.
"I love u mama " I say walking towards the door.
"I love u too baby, pooh please have a good day"
"Okay mama, I'll try "I Close the door behind me and begin my half a mile walk to Lamont High.
